Thney are both eating fine and running about like loonies but Im not taking any risks!

Jerry had his first bath this morning due to the fact he had a rather dirty rear end. Lets just say he wasnt too impressed.  :evillaugh:They are booked in for 2.30 , luckily my pupil was happy to move her lesson. :Luv2:

Good luck today. When Alice started getting blood in her poo, I did a lot of googling and the general concensus is blood in poo with cats is very rarely anything serious  :hug:

Just eating grass give Alice blood in her poo.

Hope all goes well today Kirst. Fergus occasionally has a bit of blood, I told the vets when we went the other week for injections and she said it's usually down to straining and yes, he does tend to "push" quite a lot. Hope it's nothing serious though.

We are back - after a good game of chase the kitten(Jerry!) round the vets!
They both have quite squashy tummies but Jerrys is slightly worse.

They have some promax paste to go on their food , and Jerry has some antibiotics just in case. They are to be fed chicken , fish and rice for the next few days (im sure they are gonna hate that! ;)) but the vet seems to think it could just be something they've eaten. They are now tucking into some fish with the paste on with great gusto.

They di have a good much on the lawn in the garden yesterday Mark - maybe that is what has caused it.

Anyhows I am off to Sainsburys to stock up on chicken and fish!

I always used to buy the coley blocks but found the cheap "basics" white fish goes down just as well  :tired: - it's only about £1.30 for 500grams in Sainsbury's - much cheaper than Tesco  :)

Yep , I got the cod fillets from Sainsburys - I dont have a Tesco near me!

Mine just get "white fish" most of the time as they don't seem to notice the difference  :evillaugh:

Poor Jerry - no wonder he hasn't been with us all watching with bated breath to check the consistency!  He's probably feeling nervous  ;D

Might take a while as he has probably cleaned himself out with the diarrhoea

Wooohoo! A nice olid popop from Jerry this morning! Ok he went in the litterbin whilst I was changing the trays but hey ho , if it means he's ok then Im happy! 


I think maybe he likes his litter deeper judging by the size of the hole he dug! :shocked:
